Khee 38 Soju Assessment
Medicinal in the way in which that almost all Korean soju isn’t, Khee 38 presents a fancy nostril that runs from camphor to hazelnut, basil to Band-Aids. If that sounds wild then, sure, I’ve to admit that it’s, however all of these aromas are fairly gentle. As with most soju, Khee 38 doesn’t actually scent like a lot of something more often than not. It’s solely if you let it sit within the glass for a spell and breathe deep do you actually get the total pressure of Khee’s oddball presentation.
The palate is extra forgiving, and whereas there’s a sure industrial spine to the spirit, a core of melon — sweetened with white sugar — takes over with out a lot fuss. The extra hospital/industrial notes are extra outstanding on the end, which stays candy however barely saccharine, melon and soy notes melding fitfully because the spirit fades away.
